Ben Smith
Crawley Town 2-1 Luton Town
Ben Smith scored his first goals for Crawley in three months to help his side to a 2-1 victory over Luton on Saturday.
The result kept the Red Devils' play-off ambitions alive and prevented the fifth-placed Hatters from widening the gap between the two clubs.
The first half was a rather dull affair with few moments of drama but the game sparked into life in the 55th minute when Smith opened the scoring with a shot from just inside the area.
Matthew Barnes-Homer pulled Luton level with 12 minutes remaining but the away side were unable to hold on and Smith pounced for his second three minutes from time when he reacted first to convert Eddie Hutchinson's header across goal.
Luton's run of eight consecutive clean sheets away from home and 852 minutes without conceding was ended by Smith's first effort
